Store description excerpt

Israeli Whist is a sharp, addictive trick-taking card game — bid the exact number of tricks you can win, then fight to hit your number against three world-class AI opponents. It plays in two bids and a battle: • Phase 1 — Trump bidding. Bid a minimum number of tricks and a trump suit, or pass. The highest bidder sets the trump for the hand. • Phase 2 — Takes. Every player privately predicts how many tricks they'll win. The four predictions can never total exactly 13 — someone will be over, someone under. • Phase 3 — Play. Win tricks. Match your bid EXACTLY to score big; every trick over or under costs you. Sometimes the smartest move is to lose a trick on purpose. WORLD-CLASS OPPONENTS The three bots — Botti, Droidi, and Chati — don't cheat and don't play dumb. They run a Determinized Monte Carlo engine (the same technique behind top computer card players), sampling thousands of possible hands to make genuinely tough, human-like decisions. Beating them feels earned. BUILT FOR QUICK, SATISFYING PLAY • Clean "card room" table designed for phones — portrait or landscape. • A hint button when you want strategic advice, and a "last trick" review. • Turbo mode to speed through the bots' turns. • Your session and running scorecard are saved automatically. RESPECTS YOU • No ads. No accounts. No in-app purchases. • No data collection and no tracking — everything stays on your device. • Fully offline. Play on a plane, a subway, anywhere. Whether you grew up playing Israeli Whist (Ashkelon Whist / "Oh Hell"-style bidding) or you're a Spades/Bridge player looking for your next obsession, this is a fast, brainy hand you'll keep coming back to.
